I'm trying to install TR1 since yesterday, following the TR Hub (for ATI cards) to the letter but it only works when the game cd is on. When I take it out it doesn't. There's a black screen for half a sec and then nothing, it's back to the desktop.

As far as I remember a few years ago when I first installed TR1 (also using the ATR Installer but on a different computer) it worked fine and without the cd inside.. At least I think the cd wasn't inside :confused: Anyway, that's my problem, oh and I use the Sold Out version.. Right, I'll just post my diagnose and let you do what you do best :)

Note: I'm not very technical or anything but I think that maybe it has to do with nVidia? Apparently I don't have it but I used to in my old computer so.. maybe that's it?

Anyway thanks a lot for any help, I really appreciate it, I've been killing my eyes by reading threads and threads trying to find a solution...
